ORDER-Book.

SPECIFICATIN forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,599, dated December 5, 1882.

` Application med July 31,1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

'-Be it known that I, WILLTAM S. AUoHiN- GLOSS, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Order-Books, of which the following is a specification.

Thisinvention relates to an order-booklwhich is composed of a series of stub-sections for recording the orders, and a series of' order-sec tions composed ot' postal-cards, for transmitting the orders, each stub-section being provided with an address tag or label which extends from said stub-section" over the face of one of the order-sections or postal-cards, and serves to unite the postal-card or order-section with its stub-section.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a plan'ot my order-book when the same is opened. Fig. 2 is a face view of one of the order-sections or postal-cards detached from its` stnb-scction and ready for mailing.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letter A designates my order-book, each leaf of which is composed of a stub-section, a, and an order-section, b. The stub-section serves to record the order intended to be forwarded'by the corresponding order-section, and it is preferably provided with a schedule or table for facilitating the operation of recording;` bt, if desired, the stub-sections may be left blank, so that the entire order must be recorded in writin g. The order-section b consists of a postal-card, which is intended to contain on one side the address ofthe party or `firm to whom the order is to be given,and which has room on its other side for the.order. From the stub-section a extends an address tag or label c, which is provided with paste, gum, or other adhesive substance on its under surface, and so formed thatit can l be readily brought over the address-side of the postal-card and pasted thereon, thereby retaining the postal-card in its place, as shown in Fig. l ofthe drawings. On the face of the address-tag is printed or otherwise produced the address of the party to whom the orders are to be transmitted. Along the connectingline, between the addresstag and the stub-section, are a series of perforations, so that when an order has been written on the order side of the postal-card b and recorded on the stub-section a, Fig. 1, the postal-card can be torn oit and mailed without further delay. When the postalfcard is torn oft' it carries with it the address-tag c, Fig.2. The combined postalcards and stubs can, however, be used loosely and Without being bound in book-forni.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. An order-book which is composed of a series of stub-sections for recording the orders, and a series ot' order-sections composed of postal-cards for transmitting the orders, each stubsection being provided with an address tag or label, which extends from said stub-section over the face of one of the postal-cards or order-sections, and serves to unite the postalcard or order-section with its stub-section, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination,"witl1 a memorandumblank having an address-tag, of a postal-card, substantially as hereinbefore shown and described.
